Good morning!
We have a quiet and clear Saturday morning with beautiful nature. The human world, however, is in turmoil with pandemic, people’s protests against discrimination, etc. The upheaval of protests against George Floyd’s murder by a policeman’s kneeling down and choking him to death about fortnight ago is occurring not only in this country, but around the world. He pleaded that he couldn’t breathe, even crying for his Mama, which makes us also feel choked, without breath.
Yesterday Mr. Shigeru Yokota died at 87, waiting for his daughter, who was abducted by North Korea in 1977, the head of the families whose family members were also abducted. Police brutality, abduction, oppression of protestors, wars, etc., by nations are institutionalized violence. From home violence to violence to nature, like mass extinction and global warming, are human karma, individual and social (ātma-/saha-karma: self-/co-karma, cf. ātma-/saha –loka: self-/co-world).
George’s brother, Terence, appealed for peace against violence and looting, which seemed to make the demonstrations more orderly. Martin Luther King’s movement traces back to Gandhi, who made his life an experiment of truth with non-harming, inseparable unity. The Buddha, Awakened One, was awakened to the truth (Dharma of Dependent Co-origination) in peace (nirvana, unconditioned by karma). He was socially engaged throughout his life.
Global problems, especially the pandemic, make us realize the Dharma of Co-dependent Origination and reunite humanity to solve our common problems. We must shift the paradigm from our pyramidal civilization with its five calamities to a Life Indra-net culture with the five blisses. The modern triple revolutions of information, democratization, and globalization will help facilitate this. Only truth-peace will win with a billion-year universal life, the Dharma world.

お早うございます！
美しい自然の静かで明るい土曜日の朝です。人間界は、しかしながら、全人類的流行病や差別反対の人々の抗議などで騒然としています。約二週間前の警官によるジョージ・フロイドの膝落としで窒息させた殺人に対する抗議の高まりはこの国の身ならず世界中に起きています。彼が息が出来ない、お母さんとさえ泣いて頼む、訴えましたが、それは私達も息が出来ず窒息する気にさせます。
昨日1977年に娘さんが北朝鮮により拉致され、同様に拉致された家族達の代表だった、横田滋さんが87歳で亡くなりました。国家による警官の野蛮、抗議者の鎮圧、戦争等は制度化された暴力です。家庭内暴力から自然に対する大量絶滅や地球温暖化等の暴力まで人間の個人や社会の業です（ātma-/saha-karma: self-/co-karma: 我業/共業、参考ātma-/saha –loka: 我界/共界）。
ジョージの弟テレンスは暴力と略奪に反対して平和を訴えましたが、それはデモをもっと平和なものにしたようです。マーテイン・ルーサー・キングの運動は真理と平和を不可分の一つのものとして人生の実験としたガンジーに遡ります。ブッダ、覚者、は平和（業に条件付けられない涅槃）における真理（因縁生起の法）に目覚めました。彼は生涯にわたり社会参加をしていました。
地球的問題、特に全人類的流行病、は縁起の法を現実化させ自らの共通問題の解決をさせる為人類を再結合します。私達は五禍の金字塔文明から五福の命帝網文化へ枠組を転換しなければなりません。情報化・民主化・地球化の三革命はこれをやり易くするでしょう。何十億年の普遍生命、法界、は「真理・平和のみ勝つ」でしょう。
